"We Are Called"

by Greg Madden

Greg Madden is a member of Church of the Beloved in Northglenn, Colorado, a musician and a delegate to the 2007 Synod. During the first night of the Synod, Greg wrote this song, "We Are Called", to express the essence of this ECC gathering. He sang it for the House of Laity, then the House of Pastors and finally at the Closing Liturgy. Many of the delegates requested the song, so he recorded it in the studio and now it is available as an MP3 file. Greg also added this song to a CD of original music that he had previously recorded. For more information about the full CD, contact Greg at 303-426-5464 or email maddengk@msn.com.
